Huawei seems to be cancelling the launch of P70 series smartphones

Huawei's plans to launch the P70 series have become a mystery after reports of a cancelled press conference. Insiders speculate that the phones could skip the traditional launch event altogether and just go on sale from today.

Here's What We Know

Reports that authorised Huawei shops have started taking blind orders for the P70 series confirm these speculations. The official release date is still unknown, but all indications are that the new smartphones will be on sale soon.

The leaks about the P70 series paint a picture of powerful hardware and innovative features. The devices are expected to be powered by Kirin 9000S chipset with different clock speeds for standard and premium models. Two variants are expected to get premium, presumably 6.58-inch and 6.8-inch 2.5D 1.5K LTPO panels.

On the camera front, rumours point to OV50H and IMX989 sensors, both with physical variable aperture. A 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 50MP 4x periscopic telephoto lens could complete the powerful camera. The devices are also rumoured to be equipped with new satellite communication technology and a fresh exterior design.

This isn't the first time Huawei has opted for an unconventional launch strategy. Last year's Mate 60 Pro was quietly released online without a press conference. The possibility of a similar surprise launch for the P70 series is likely. It is also expected that Huawei may launch 10 more products alongside the P70 series.
